Comparison of peri‐operative core temperature in obese and non‐obese patients

Comparison of peri‐operative core temperature in obese and non‐obese patients

Summary Our aim was to compare peri‐operative core temperatures and the incidence of hypothermia in obese and non‐obese women with active forced‐air warming. Twenty female patients scheduled for abdominal surgery were allocated to two groups according to body mass index. Ten obese (30.0–34.9 kg.m−2)...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Our aim was to compare peri‐operative core temperatures and the incidence of hypothermia in obese and non‐obese women with active forced‐air warming. Twenty female patients scheduled for abdominal surgery were allocated to two groups according to body mass index. Ten obese (30.0–34.9 kg.m−2) and 10 non‐obese (18.5–24.9 kg.m−2) women received forced‐air warming on their lower limbs. At the end of surgery, the mean (SD) core temperatures were 36.7 (0.5) °C in the obese group and 36.0 (0.6) °C in the non‐obese group (p
